| The way that momma raised us was pure faith
|
| So diablo wouldn’t faze us or daze us
|
| Or lay us down to sleep
|
| Know the wolf from the sheep
|
| Or the sheep who cried wolf
|
| And threw the deadly hoof
|
| While the wolf was asleep
|
| I keep my mind a ghost
|
| Follow my heart the most
|
| Don’t play fools too close
|
| Sleep with my eyes at post
|
| So Diablo won’t be hostin the game of life
|
| The knife sits by throats of the young
|
| And blows death straight through the lungs
|
| As the mind gets washed by visions of sugar plums
|
| But we shall overcome cause we ain’t dumb
|
| But we ain’t smart, they got the girls by the hearts
|
| And the niggas by the nuts
|
| Ear, tongue and butts
|
| Yeah, they’re trying to fuck us up
|
| But, shit, you know what’s up
|
| We gotta get with the movement
|
| And move men soon
|
| They consume every womb who bares
|
| Beneath the stairs of their doom
|
| Before they let a new soul bloom
|
| Best believe they’re gonna shove em in a tomb
|
| Chorus: repeat 4X
|
| Cause everytime I step to the microphone
|
| I put my soul on 2 inch reels
|
| That I don’t even own
|
| Early Saturday mornin I was cartoon gazin
|
| Slowly broke into the kitchen
|
| To fill a bowl with some Raisin Bran
|
| As I ran up and down the TV stations
|
| I witnessed Indian Joe
|
| Getting tricked out of this nation
|
| By a silly hillbilly
|
| Who laughed as the shit happened
|
| Everything’s the same
|
| The game continued into rappin
|
| Deception is at an all-time high
|
| You give a piece of your soul
|
| To receive some crumbs from the pie
|
| But you know I keep on rappin til the break of dawn
|
| Even though it is my soul that I do not even own
|
| Chorus: repeat 4X
|
| I was po', black and broke
|
| Beyond a shadow of a doubt
|
| Ass-out, wide open waitin for my shit to come on out
|
| Speakin about the time before I got signed
|
| I was coolin behind Coolio in the County Line
|
| My big brother used to say I was an asshole
|
| Didn’t graduate, couldn’t handle the hassle
|
| Of high school, why fool
|
| Wit' foolish rules and guidelines
|
| Fuck the cap and tassels
|
| Said forget the trade and tried rhymes
|
| Hooked up with J-Swift, got with 2−4-2
|
| Me and my nigga L.A. Jay back at S.C.U
|
| I grab the MIC one-time
|
| Check it, 1−2, we in
|
| Freakin' major flavors with my fellow Nubians
|
| Takin shit to the next level
|
| Too bad I sold my soul to the fuckin devil |
